If a target depends on the network an address is registered to, that narrows your choice to ISP. Datacenter addresses are registered to hosting companies, and no setting on the datacenter order form changes that.
How the ISP field behaves
- It is filled in after the country. With no country chosen, the field has nothing to offer.
- Its options are the carriers currently in stock for the chosen country, and for the state or city if you narrowed to one. Out-of-stock carriers cannot be selected.
- Random lets us assign any carrier in stock. Use it when the target does not check the provider.
- The carrier you end up with stays with that address for its whole term. A different carrier means a new order.
The order form is the authoritative list: if a carrier is not shown for your location, it is not on offer there now.
